Way to go conservatives! I am so glad you all associated yourselves with the left's murderous looneys in attacking the ONLY conservative at the Washington Post.
College, to Ben's misfortune, most likely does matter. We are adults at 17 or 18, at least as far as something like plagarism is concerned, if not in other regards, but what about things people may have turned in during their junior high years, when it seems like everyone was just trying to put encyclopedia articles into "their own words" for the teacher?
Also, it seems like what investigators come up with is a function of how zealous they are and how much they're willing to dig. Domenech may have gotten into trouble in college, but I'd imagine that if you had every paper "atrios" or "kos" ever wrote, you'd find some questionable pages.

He could always move to Massachusetts or Delaware and run for the U.S. Senate, if it can be proven that he is actually a plagiarist. ;)
